There is no easy fix (a seperate bug already exists). The other issue being that -k pulls in an extra mod package and not ca-certs, I would imagine that is because the binpkg of the respective environment has those variables/DEPENDs. The only way to know for sure is to see the output with -d ( --debug ). However I would imagine that your binpkg of openssl doesn't have the PDEPEND on ca-certs ( was added ~lastweek ) and yuor binpkg of fortune-mod-dev has LINGUAS=sk in it's build-env, which is why that output differs. If you would like to know more/confirm this behavior you can attach the -k output with --debug on.
OK, i see. Ebuild, which is in binpkg, doesn't change when i'm doing emerge sync. I reemerged fortune-mod-all and openssl and all comes to normal. But what does fixpackages do? Mustn't it fix these bugs?
(In reply to comment #2) > I reemerged fortune-mod-all and openssl and all comes to normal. But what > does fixpackages do? Mustn't it fix these bugs? Binary packages will give you different results depending on the dependency metadata and USE flags that they contain. fixpackages corrects for global updates and nothing more. We have a known problem in the global updates (affects fixpackages) that will be addressed (bug 122089).
